“As a team we are feeling the hurt for everyone around the world. It’s quite difficult to comprehend what’s happening. It is a responsibility for us to play with smiles on our faces because we have got a reason to smile. We get to play the sport that we love and we get to keep people happy on the other side of the screen.
“Whether we are winning or losing its still an opportunity to keep people happy and smiling and watching cricket. If that brings people joy, even if it’s a little bit of joy, then we are doing well as a sport. At Rajasthan we will be supporting COVID workers and all those affected,” Morris said.
Morris’s four-wicket haul helped RR restrict KKR to 133 for 9 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai which they chased down thanks to the crucial knocks played by skipper Sanju Samson (42 not out), Shivam Dube (22) and David Miller (24 not out).
RR moved up 2 places to occupy the 6th spot on the points table with this victory while KKR dropped down to the last place.
